It will be a sad day if any line ship is named after that loser.

As part of a diversity recruiting program, all servicing of the USS William Jefferson Clinton will be performed by interns.

Believe me, the real USS Jimmy Carter (SSN23) is scarily agressive.

Did you know Clinton got his middle name, not from Thomas Jefferson, but from Jefferson Davis?

So with only three cross deck pendants (arresting wires), does the savy Naval Aviator still want to catch a three wire?

Or as a poster above my desk reads (with a different picture):

One Hundred Thousand Tons of Diplomacy!

ANY QUESTIONS?

I served on the first two Nimitz-class aircraft carriers (as well as the JFK). AWESOME doesn’t even begin to describe these ships. there used to be a poster out (can’t find it now) showing a bow shot of one of these carriers with the caption: “90,000 Tons of Diplomacy”.

If a ship had to be named after Carter, a submarine, IMHO, was the best choice. By their very nature, no one ever hears about or sees a sub, unless the ship screws up dramatically. Also take into account that Jimmah was a submariner and one of Adm. Rickover’s “boys”.

“The USS William Jefferson Clinton (CVS 1) set sail today from its home port of Vancouver , BC. “

CVS is reserved for anti-submarine carriers. This poor excuse of a ship - aptly named for a sorry excuse of a President - should more likely be classified an AAGS (Anti American Garbage Scow.
